THE CARMINA SANCTORUM.

THE NEW HYMN AND TUNE BOOK

FOR EVANGELICAL CHURCHES.

COMMENDATIONS.

Messrs. A.S. Barnes & Co. publish a great variety of valuable works. There is nothing better in the line of hymn books than their "Carmina Sanctorum," edited by Zachary Eddy, Lewis Ward Mudge and the late Dr. Roswell Dwight Hitchcock. This book of sacred song has already been adopted by over 400 CHURCHES of different denominations—The New York Observer.

Any congregation that likes to have its hymnal represent careful thought and full culture, would do well to examine this collection of "Carmina Sanctorum," recently published by A.S. Barnes & Co. The editors have taken it for granted that choirs and congregations are desiring, not revolution, but only improvement in their service of song, i.e.—the plan is conservative, but not narrowly so. It represents the great communion of saints of all ages and nations. All corners of the vast hymnic field have been drawn on.—The Independent, New York.

"Carmina Sanctorum" contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450 tunes and 7 separate indexes. The hymns are only the choicest, and they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page. The responses are selected from the revision and make a complete manual. The cream of the old [tunes] is all here. The cream of the new is all here. As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC WORSHIP. It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found on the same page. To all this may be added that four editions are published, two with music and two without, and they are all cheap.—The New York Evangelist.
